Ludington Lake Jump Set for April 21

April 21, 2018

Springtime, so why jump in the lake? Because some hearty Ludington residents want to help raise money, which means it's time for the Ludington Lake Jump. The 2018 event will be held on Saturday, April 21 at Stearns Park Beach and will benefit the Lakeshore Food Club- the new conglomerate food pantry created by the Lakeshore Resource Network. Learn more about the food club here.

What is Lake Jump?

Basically, area residents and businesses take pledges and try to raise as much money as possible for the Ludington Lake Jump. In return, that person must run into the icy waters of Lake Michigan at Stearns Park Beach. Many local businesses also help out with hot drinks and food at the event.
